After going scoreless for the first 94 minutes of play, the Orlando Pride wasted no time in the final five minutes, scoring twice to earn a frantic draw against the Washington Spirit on Friday night.
Mikayla Cluff got the Pride on the board for the first time in the 95th minute, heading in a beautiful cross from Jordyn Listro.
Just three minutes later, Julie Doyle found Darian Jenkins on the left side of the box, and the 27-year-old slid the ball past Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury to secure the point to improve their record to 2-2-2 on the season.
Canadian goalkeeper Erin McLeod played the full game for the Pride, stopping one of three shots.
The Spirit, who sit 1-1-3 on the year, beat McLeod 19 minutes in with a goal from Trinity Rodman, and added to their lead in the 66th minute with a marker from Ashley Hatch.
Washington is back in action on Wednesday against the Chicago Red Stars, while the Pride will face the Houston Dash on Friday.
